BLACK ROCK CITY, Nevada: Thousands of Burning Man attendees readied to make their"exodus" on Monday as the counter-culture arts festival in the Nevada desert ends in a sea of drying mud instead of a party around its flaming effigy namesake.
Organizers posted online that they expected to formally allow vehicles to leave at noon Monday local time, but some attendees told Reuters that a steady stream of vehicles have left since predawn, many struggling through the slop. For days, some 70,000 people were ordered to stay put and conserve food and water as officials closed the roads and exits, ordering all vehicles to stay put."Yep, the rain cleared out of there," said Marc Chenard, a forecaster with the weather service's Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland."It'll be sunny today with temperatures in the 70s .
Fraoli said he had tried to drag his luggage through the mud and escape, but gave up and decided to relax and enjoy the experience."Overall it was an amazing week and next time we will be more prepared," he said.
